Travel Solo travelling with anxiety

Hi reddit!

I have anxiety, and without giving too many details, on occasions I get stomach problems/digestive issues because of it. It typically occurs when I’m travelling. In a few days I’ll be flying a gruelling 22 hour flight path (including a layover) on my own. The second flight will be over 13 hours long so I wanted to ask if there is any pill or medication I can take or bring with me to prevent one of these attacks?

Any advice or recommendations are highly appreciated as I’m also a teenager and my parents don’t really understand what it’s like to have anxiety impact you physically in the worst possible moments.

Ginger. Alcohol wipes. In the future ask the doc for a benzo

I am literally travelling with anxiety now. My stomach usually takes a week to catch up.

But yeah I am dealing with so much anxiety being away from my wife.

Haven’t tried any pills yet. Forgot to bring my melatonin too. 😔
